Rupee breaches 68 mark against dollar on Tuesday

20 Dec 2016 Evaluate

Indian rupee breaching 68 mark ended considerably weaker against dollar on Tuesday, tracking the losses in the local equity markets. Sentiments remained dampened with the report that CLSA cut its Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth forecast for FY17 by 1.2 percentage points to 6.5 percent and added that the current disruption is unlikely to affect the outlook for FY18. Further, the assassination of Russian ambassador to Turkey and the terrorist attack in Germany where a truck rammed into people in the Christmas market weighed on currencies across the globe. On the global front, yen dropped against dollar after the Bank of Japan closed a tumultuous year for monetary policy by keeping its yield-curve and asset-purchase programs unchanged while pledging to keep expanding the monetary base until inflation is above 2 percent.

Finally, the rupee ended at 68.05, 29 paise weaker from its previous close of 67.76 on Monday. The currency touched a high and low of 68.06 and 67.81 respectively. The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) reference rate for the dollar stood at 67.89 and for Euro stood at 70.46 on December 20, 2016. While the RBI’s reference rate for the Yen stood at 57.66, the reference rate for the Great Britain Pound (GBP) stood at 84.10.The reference rates are based on 12 noon rates of a few select banks in Mumbai.
